ha my shoes have RFid tags for stock tracking, I wonder how far away that can be read

even most watches people have now broadcast bluetooth MAC (and maybe ANT+ id)

and that data is never ever going away, there's no warrant and no law to regulate it

they still have tracking data for everyone who visited Epstein Island decades ago (which is even more crazy that no-one was prosecuted out of hundreds)

You can read a passive RFID from about 30 meters with the right equipment.

"Right equipment" is probably very load bearing. Wouls need a very high gain directional antenna, not sure if a camera next to the road has the space to pick this up from a moving car.

		Long distance RFID readers are currently used mostly for warehouse inventory tracking. Nowadays you can steer antennas using phased arrays like they use in 5G. https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/rfid/rfid-readers.html?... Although, as I understand it, Flock itself is mostly just looking for Bluetooth, BTLE, TPMS Sensors, and Wifi devices.
